I just got this on Christmas, and at first it was really fun. Then there are challenges, such like The Incredible Hulk game, that were boring and really easy to beat, although sometimes annoying. And the cast were just awful, but only one convincing role was good for me, and that was Wolverine. And that's because Steve Blum plays the voice of Wolverine in this game and on almost every X-Men/Marvel related video game and animated TV shows and animated movies, like: X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Hulk Vs. Wolverine movie, and even the new animated series Wolverine and the X-Men. He did a great job on our favorite X-Men member. And for Mike Vaughn, the voice of Spidey in the game, was okay, but really annoying sometimes. Heck, to tell you the truth I can do the voice that he did for Spidey, and that's kind of sad, but for me that's kind of cool. I think Quinton Flynn, who voiced Spidey in MUA, should've came back to reprise the role. He was good, and he didn't annoy me as much either. Although, much of how Spidey is annoying and all in the game, that's who he is, and I like how they capture that for this video game. The one-liners weren't so bad either. I like the story for this game most of all, it's very dark, creepy, and violent. The way Spidey acted when he wears the black suit, is the way it should've been portrayed in Spider-Man 3, the movie and the video game as well. The most part that was awesome though, is throwing cars around as Black-Suited Spidey, and I like the web-strike attacks too. Overall, a fun game, and if you're a true Spidey fan go get this now! It's totally worth the buy.
P.S. I am playing the game again for the 3rd time, and this time I am doing all the optional missions, getting all the upgrades, and randomly picking different choices for certain missions to see what kind of future Spidey would have if I changed it a bit in between. It's fun!

What can I say? This game was pretty awesome, and different. The plot is very interesting, and it has a much darker tone to it too. It starts off with Spidey in the symbiote invaded New York City, regreting what had happen in the past few days. He tells the story of how it all started, and the choices that you have to make in order to save the city once more from Venom's evil plan to take over it.
The voice talents in this game were okay, but I like the guy who plays as Wolverine in this game. He is what soles the story and the more convincing role too. The voice of Spidey is OK, he just got a little annoying at times, but at least this time he is more funnier at his one-liners. That was great!
And the black suit and red suit choices is pretty cool too. I played through the entire game twice, first time red, second time black.
I am playing it for the third time now, and I am getting all of my upgrades, and making random choices that will alter the en
ding. I won't spoiler the two endings of the red suit and the bl
ack suit storyline, I'll let you see that for yourself, or just search for the videos at Youtube if you want.
This game is dramatic, intense, and fun all the way. You won't believe your eyes until after you play it. It's great for all Spidey fans, or even video gamers who just want to give this one a try. It's totally worth your time, and it'll make you wanting more by the end.
